Amen to that. I wish torture porn could be uninvented. I am indifferent to gore but it has to be in service of the story. The story shouldn't be in service of the gore.
Basically the reason Saw is doing the crazy shit is because he's an old guy with cancer and his health insurance said he's too old to get care so they're just gonna let him die. So he starts taking it out on people that are/could be related to the reason he was denied health insurance (in the 1st one I think it's his doctor?)
He also targeted people who took life granted, like those with multiple suicide attempts. Which evidently cured them afterwards??
One of the plot points in one of the later movies is that he was too sick to keep doing it so a copy cat started it, but they were selecting innocent people which pissed him off and he killed them.
So he realises he has enough funds to organise a dispirit group of strangers into a kill chamber, and does that instead of using it to fund cancer treatment either in the USA or elsewhere.
By "targeting people who take life for granted," saw is a hypocrite!
In a sense I agree with him. You shall be judged by how you treat people who have limited means of retaliation. Like throwing garbage at homeless people, screaming at waiters/waitresses, meaningless petty acts towards retail workers. Fuck you. You are literally going out of your way to make another persons life worse.
I didn't get it until absolutely everything is going wrong + no sleep, I had this weird urge to just be really mean to people who didn't deserve it at all. I didn't act on it but I can see why people would do it now.

He was that waiter. But he forgot that when he said "enjoy your meal," you replied "thanks, you too" and have therefore suffered enough.

And everyone clapped.
Because if they didn't, a giant boulder would roll over the bus Indiana Jones style since they dared to flip of passing drivers.

I fucking hate the torture porn films. I love supernatural and psychological horror.

At least that's how I recall the story
